- Armenia coach Armen Gyulbudaghyants named a strong 30-man squad for the upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against Italy and Bosnia & Herzegovina.

- With no big-name player missing out due to either injuries or suspension, expect Armen Gyulbudaghyants to name a similar playing 11 to the one which beat Greece 2-3 away in the last euro 2020 qualifier back in March.
Possible INs and OUTs of this game:
- Aleksandr Karapetyan should continue to lead the attack, having been in good scoring touch of late.
- But Sargis Adamyan has been called up after starting the season on a good note with TSG Hoffenheim. The 26-year-old will no doubt push for a start.
- Henrikh Mkhitaryan will start behind the striker, with both Gevorg Ghazaryan and Tigran Barseghyan starting on either wing.

Italy FC Team News:
- The biggest name missing from Italy’s squad is of Giorgio Chiellini‘s. The 35-year-old Juventus captain was named in the squad but had to be left out due to right knee injury he suffered during training. The experienced center-back is expected to miss the next six months of action after undergoing surgery.
- Roberto Mancini has dropped both Moise Keane and Nicolo Zaniolo from his 26-man squad. Keane has failed to nail down a regular spot in Everton’s starting 11, while Zaniolo has been a hit-and-miss of sorts this season.
- Cristiano Biraghi, who completed his loan move from Fiorentina to Inter Milan, has been left out as well.
- In further news, Mattia De Sciglio pulled out of the squad due to a muscular problem, with Mancini naming Danilo D’Ambrosio as his replacement.
Possible ins or outs of this game:
- With Sciglio out, Danilo D’Ambrosio is set to start at right-back, despite Gianluca Mancini in the squad.
- Gianluigi Donnarumma returns to the squad after missing the last two fixtures for Italy due to an injury. He will start the match in goal.
- Emerson’s good start to the season means Mancini will name the Chelsea player at left-back once more.
